Crescent City

Goin back to the Crescent City

Trying to find the only lady

That I ever loved

Can’t stop thinking of her

Miss my time in the Crescent City

Warm beignets with the nitty gritty

Yeah I’m coming home

Don’t wanna be alone no more

     Driving cross Lake Pontchartrain

     Smell of the bayou, driving me insane

     Heading down to the lower ninth

     Gonna find her in the moonlight

Goin back to the Crescent City

Trying to find the only lady

That I ever loved

I’ve been thinking of her

Miss my time in the Crescent City

A muffuletta down in Metairie

Yeah I’m coming home

I can’t be alone no more

     Fishing out with the salty dog

     We spent the time singing Cajun songs

     Pullin bass with some zydeco

     The red head girl, I miss her so
